Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0048] The terms "first," "second," and "third" (if any) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.
[0049] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such as a process, method, system, product, or maintenance tool that includes a series of steps or units, not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or maintenance tool.
[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0051] An integrated cooktop is a kitchen appliance that combines multiple functions such as a range hood, gas stove, steam oven, and storage cabinet. Current integrated cooktops include split-type cooktop-steam oven products. Split-type cooktop-steam oven products make full use of the cabinet space under the cooktop to install the steam oven, improving the user's kitchen space utilization and user experience.
[0052] Steam ovens are installed below the cooktop, which limits the way excess hot steam in the oven's inner cavity can be released. It can only be released upwards through the cooktop panel. During this process, a fan and condenser pipes are used to mix and condense the hot steam. In existing technology, the cooktop has a steam vent box on its bottom shell. During installation, the cooktop needs to be lifted up, and the steam vent box and condenser pipes need to be connected at the rear. This is inconvenient for installation and maintenance. If the installation is not done properly, the pipes are prone to falling off or being bent.
[0053] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a steam mixing box, a steam exhaust assembly, and a cooking appliance. The steam mixing box includes a main body, a steam exhaust port, and a ventilation port. The main body has a steam mixing chamber, and both the steam exhaust port and the ventilation port are connected to the steam mixing chamber. Steam introduced through the steam exhaust port mixes and condenses with airflow introduced through the ventilation port in the steam mixing chamber. A guide port is provided at the top of the main body, and a steam exhaust box is provided on the cooking appliance. A connector is provided on the bottom wall of the steam exhaust box, and the guide port is configured to connect with the connector to allow communication between the steam mixing chamber and the interior of the steam exhaust box. By providing a steam mixing chamber, a steam exhaust port, and a ventilation port, the steam introduced through the steam exhaust port mixes and condenses with airflow introduced through the ventilation port in the steam mixing chamber, which is equivalent to condensing the steam within the steam mixing box. This eliminates the need for a separate condenser fan and related condensation piping, simplifying the structure. Furthermore, the connection between the guide port and the connector allows for quick connection between the main body and the steam exhaust box, improving assembly convenience and facilitating future maintenance.
[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this application. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0055] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application embodiment provides a steam mixing box 10 for use in a cooking appliance 20, wherein the cooking appliance 20 includes a steaming and baking assembly 30, a stove assembly 40, and a steam exhaust assembly 50.
[0056] In this embodiment, the steam-grill assembly 30 may include a steam-grill combination appliance, and the steam-grill assembly 30 and the cooktop assembly 40 may be installed as a steam-grill combination appliance in the prior art. This embodiment does not limit the steam-grill assembly 30 and the cooktop assembly 40.
[0057] The steam-grill assembly 30 is positioned below the cooktop assembly 40. The steam-grill assembly 30 has a steam outlet 31 and a hot air outlet 32. The steam outlet 31 is connected to the exhaust pipe 51 of the exhaust assembly 50, and the hot air outlet 32 is connected to the exhaust pipe 52 of the exhaust assembly 50. The exhaust box 53 of the exhaust assembly 50 is located on the cooktop assembly 40. This configuration integrates the cooktop assembly 40 and the steam-grill assembly 30 into a single unit, facilitating functional centralization and enhancing the user experience.
[0058] In this embodiment, the exhaust assembly 50 includes an exhaust pipe 51, an exhaust duct 52, an exhaust box 53, and the aforementioned mixing box 10. The exhaust pipe 51 is connected to the exhaust port 200 of the mixing box 10, the exhaust duct 52 is connected to the exhaust port 300 of the mixing box 10, and the connector 500 of the exhaust box 53 is plugged into the guide port 400 of the mixing box 10.
[0059] By setting the connector 500 of the exhaust box 53 to the guide interface 400 of the mixing box 10, it is easier to quickly connect the mixing box 10 and the exhaust box 53, simplify the installation process, and improve installation efficiency.
[0060] In this embodiment, to improve the sealing performance between the guide interface 400 and the plug 500, at least one sealing ring 600 is axially provided on the plug 500 of the exhaust box 53. The sealing ring 600 not only improves the sealing performance between the guide interface 400 and the plug 500, but also ensures stable insertion between the guide interface 400 and the plug 500, thereby improving connection stability.
[0061] Please refer to Figures 5 to 9 As shown, and in combination Figure 2 In this embodiment, the steam mixing box 10 includes a box body 100, a steam exhaust port 200, and a ventilation port 300. The box body 100 has a steam mixing chamber 101. Both the steam exhaust port 200 and the ventilation port 300 are connected to the steam mixing chamber 101. The steam introduced through the steam exhaust port 200 and the airflow introduced through the ventilation port 300 mix and condense in the steam mixing chamber 101. It can be understood that the steam introduced through the steam exhaust port 200 is the steam discharged from the steam outlet 31 of the steam-grilling assembly 30, and this part of the steam has a relatively high temperature. The airflow introduced through the ventilation port 300 is the airflow discharged from the hot air outlet 32 of the steam-grilling assembly 30. This part of the airflow is the airflow used by the cooling fan 33 inside the steam-grilling assembly 30 to cool its electronic components. The temperature of the airflow introduced through the ventilation port 300 is lower than the temperature of the steam introduced through the steam exhaust port 200.
[0062] The top of the box body 100 is provided with a guide interface 400, the cooking utensil 20 is provided with a steam vent box 53, the bottom wall of the steam vent box 53 is provided with a plug 500, and the guide interface 400 is configured to be plugged into the plug 500 so that the steam mixing chamber 101 is connected to the interior of the steam vent box 53.
[0063] By setting up a mixing chamber 101, an exhaust port 200, and an exhaust port 300, the steam introduced through the exhaust port 200 and the airflow introduced through the exhaust port 300 mix and condense in the mixing chamber 101, which is equivalent to condensing the steam in the mixing box 10. The steam is pre-condensed in the mixing box 10 by the cooling fan 33 of the steam baking component 30, eliminating the need for a separate condensing fan and related condensing pipes, thus simplifying the structure. In addition, by setting up a guide port 400 and a plug-in connector 500 for quick connection between the box body 100 and the exhaust box 53, the assembly is made easier, and later maintenance is also facilitated.
[0064] In this embodiment, the cooling fan 33 of the steam-grill assembly 30 itself is not limited. For example, the steam-grill assembly 30 includes a controller and a cooling fan 33. In the relevant prior art, the controller can control the temperature or pressure of the steam-grill assembly 30 during operation. The controller generates heat after being powered on, and the cooling fan 33 is configured to cool the controller with air.
[0065] In one feasible implementation, the steam exhaust port 200 and the air exhaust port 300 are located on opposite sides of the main body 100. This avoids interference between the steam exhaust port 200 and the air exhaust port 300, and also facilitates the manufacture of the steam mixing box 10, reducing manufacturing costs.
[0066] The inner wall of the exhaust port 200 is connected to the bottom wall of the mixing chamber 101. The bottom wall of the mixing chamber 101 is provided with a return groove 102, which communicates with the exhaust port 200. By connecting the inner wall of the exhaust port 200 to the bottom wall of the mixing chamber 101, the condensed water in the mixing box 10 can be easily returned to the exhaust pipe 51, thereby realizing the recovery of condensate. Here, the recovery of steam condensate is existing technology in the field of steam ovens, and this embodiment will not elaborate on it.
[0067] By setting up the return channel 102, the condensed water in the mixing chamber 101 can be guided, further improving the return efficiency of the condensate. For example, the return channel 102 is inclined from the mixing chamber 101 toward the exhaust port 200.
[0068] In one feasible implementation, refer to Figure 9As shown, the axial direction of the exhaust port 200 is inclined downwards at a first preset angle α relative to the radial direction of the mixing chamber 101. The first preset angle α is set to 10°-14°. For example, the first preset angle α can be set to 10.0°, 10.1°, 10.5°, 11.0°, 12.0°, 13.0°, 13.5°, or 14.0°. The specific value of the first preset angle α can also be designed and selected within a limited range according to actual conditions. Through the above setting, condensate can easily flow out along the exhaust port 200 by its own gravity and then flow into the exhaust pipe 51, avoiding kinks in the exhaust pipe 51. In this embodiment, the first preset angle α can be 12.0°. This allows the condensate to flow into the exhaust pipe 51 more quickly while making full use of the horizontal space.
[0069] In one feasible implementation, the lower edge of the inner wall of the exhaust port 300 is vertically higher than the bottom wall of the mixing chamber 101. This prevents condensate in the mixing chamber 101 from flowing back into the exhaust port 300.
[0070] For example, the height difference between the lower edge of the inner wall of the exhaust port 300 and the bottom wall of the mixing chamber 101 is greater than 8 mm. For example, the height difference between the lower edge of the inner wall of the exhaust port 300 and the bottom wall of the mixing chamber 101 is set as h, which can be set to 8.1 mm, 8.5 mm, 9.0 mm, 9.8 mm, 10.0 mm, or 11.0 mm. Of course, the specific value of h can also be designed and selected within a limited range according to actual conditions. In this embodiment, h can be 9.8 mm. Through the above setting, the condensate in the mixing chamber 101 can be prevented from flowing back directly into the exhaust port 300, ensuring the normal operation of the exhaust pipe 52 and the cooling fan 33.
[0071] In one feasible implementation, the axial direction of the exhaust port 300 is inclined downwards at a second preset angle b relative to the radial direction of the mixing chamber 101. The second preset angle b is set to 8°-12°. For example, the second preset angle b can be set to 8.0°, 8.1°, 8.9°, 10.0°, 11.0°, 11.5°, or 12.0°. The specific value of the second preset angle b can also be designed and selected within a limited range according to actual conditions. In this embodiment, the second preset angle b can be 10.0°, which allows the airflow blowing from the exhaust port 300 into the mixing chamber 101 to be upward relative to the mixing chamber 101. The airflow gives the steam in the mixing chamber 101 an upward blowing force, accelerating the discharge of steam. In addition, it can straighten the exhaust pipe 52 and prevent the exhaust pipe 52 from being kinked.
[0072] In one feasible implementation, refer to Figure 8As shown. The central axis of the exhaust port 300 is offset laterally by a predetermined distance d relative to the radial centerline of the mixing chamber 101. d is set to 6mm-10mm, and for example, d can be set to 6.0mm, 6.5mm, 7.0mm, 8.0mm, 9.0mm, 9.5mm or 10.0mm.
[0073] By setting it up as described above, the airflow blown into the mixing chamber 101 from the exhaust port 300 can form a spiral flow trajectory, which is beneficial for the mixing of airflow and steam, accelerates the condensation of steam, and improves the condensation efficiency.
[0074] In one feasible implementation, for example, in this embodiment, d can be 8.5 mm, or the inner wall of the exhaust port 300 can be tangent to the inner sidewall of the mixing chamber 101. Of course, the specific value of d is related to the radius of the mixing chamber 101, and d cannot be greater than the radius of the mixing chamber 101.
[0075] In this way, the airflow blown out from the exhaust port 300 flows along the inner wall of the mixing chamber 101. The inner wall of the mixing chamber 101 has a guiding effect on the airflow, which facilitates the formation of a spiral flow trajectory, further accelerating the mixing of airflow and steam and improving condensation efficiency.
[0076] In addition, the spiral airflow formed in the mixing chamber 101 effectively avoids the problems of water droplets spraying randomly and steam deflecting towards the burner head of the cooktop assembly 40, which are caused by traditional condensation schemes.
[0077] In one feasible implementation, the circumferential edge of the guide interface 400 is provided with a flange 401, which is folded outward relative to the side wall of the box body 100 toward the mixing chamber 101.
[0078] For example, the angle at which the flange 401 folds outward toward the side wall of the box body 100 toward the mixing chamber 101 is j, and j is set to 110°-130°. For example, j can be set to 110.0°, 110.5°, 115.0°, 120.0°, 120.5° or 130.0°. In this embodiment, j can be 120.0°. By setting the flange 401 and setting j to 120.0°, the connection between the guide interface 400 and the plug 500 can play a guiding and positioning role, which facilitates the quick connection between the guide interface 400 and the plug 500 and improves the connection stability.
[0079] To further improve installation stability, in one feasible embodiment, the steam mixing box 10 also includes a mounting bracket 60 connected to the bottom of the box body 100. Here, the end of the mounting bracket 60 facing away from the box body 100 is connected to the outer wall of the steam-baking assembly 30, which helps to improve the installation stability of the box body 100.
[0080] For example, the mounting bracket 60 can be detachably connected to the box body 100 and the steaming and baking assembly 30 by bolts, which facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the box body 100 in the future.
[0081] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 and combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the vent box 53 includes a decorative seat 700, a water receiving box 800, and a decorative cover 900. The stove assembly 40 has mounting holes corresponding to the decorative seat 700, and the decorative seat is installed in the mounting holes. The decorative seat 700 has a connector 500 and a mounting groove. The water receiving box 800 is installed in the mounting groove. The water receiving box 800 has a vent pipe 801, which communicates with the connector 500. The decorative cover 900 covers the top of the water receiving box 800.
[0082] The steam discharged from the mixing box 10 to the exhaust box 53 will condense at the decorative cover 900. The condensate will enter the water collection box 800. In order to prevent excessive accumulation of condensate in the water collection box 800, the vent 801 is provided with an overflow notch 802. When the condensate level is higher than the overflow notch 802, the condensate above the overflow notch 802 will flow out of the water collection box 800.
[0083] To facilitate the handling of the water collection box 800, a handle 803 is provided on the top of the air pump 801 for easy access to the water collection box 800.
[0084] In this embodiment of the application, the specific structure of the decorative cover 900 is not limited. For example, the decorative cover 900 is provided with a steam vent 901 at a position away from the axial direction of the vent cylinder 801. Steam is discharged through the steam vent 901. In this way, the steam is further made to contact the decorative cover 900 at the position of the decorative cover 900, and is discharged after condensation.
[0085] This application provides a steam mixing box 10, a steam exhaust assembly 50, and a cooking appliance 20. The steam mixing box 10 includes a box body 100, a steam exhaust port 200, and a venting port 300. The box body 100 has a steam mixing chamber 101. The steam exhaust port 200 and the venting port 300 are both connected to the steam mixing chamber 101. The steam introduced through the steam exhaust port 200 and the airflow introduced through the venting port 300 mix and condense in the steam mixing chamber 101. The top of the box body 100 is provided with a guide port 400. The cooking appliance 20 is provided with a steam exhaust box 53. The bottom wall of the steam exhaust box 53 is provided with a connector 500. The guide port 400 is configured to be plugged into the connector 500 so that the steam mixing chamber 101 communicates with the interior of the steam exhaust box 53. By setting up a mixing chamber 101, an exhaust port 200, and an exhaust port 300, the steam introduced through the exhaust port 200 and the airflow introduced through the exhaust port 300 are mixed and condensed in the mixing chamber 101, which is equivalent to the condensation of steam in the mixing box 10. There is no need to set up a separate condensing fan and related condensing pipelines, which simplifies the structure. In addition, by setting up a guide port 400 and a plug-in connector 500 to connect the box body 100 and the exhaust box 53, the assembly convenience is improved, and the later maintenance is also convenient.
[0086] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them.
